The Odditoreum

Odditoreum, by Shaun Tan

This event is now in the past.

Discover the weird, the wonderful and the wacky in The Odditoreum, a free family exhibition at State Library.

The Odditoreum features a menagerie of curiosities, both large and small, pulled from deep within the vaults of Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum. These oddities, carefully selected for their peculiarity, have been transformed by children’s author and illustrator Shaun Tan, who has blurred fact with fantasy to create intriguing stories for each object.

Find out more about the exhibition and Shaun Tan, and check out some preview pics here.

PLUS, check out all the odd activities we've dreamt up to accompany the exhibition.
